It's with a heavy heart that I must inform you that this site, Guild Wars Guru, will be shutting down on July 1st and will remain in Archive Mode. Over the past 11 years, we've become, and continued to remain, the #1 fansite for Guild Wars, and it's all because to you guys. Without such a strong and passionate community, Guru would have never made it this far and so we thank you for that.

And while we will be saying good-bye to our home here, we will continue to host forums for the GW community over at our sister site, Guild Wars 2 Guru. In fact, you are more than welcome to head on over now and begin posting. If you have any threads you'd like to transfer over, now would be the time.

So once again thank you, and especially those that contributed their time and knowledge to make Guru the amazing place it was. We'll see you over at Guild Wars 2 Guru!

I think there should be a way to go back to pre-searing to get LDoA for any core profession. They could simply put a red circle with a line to represent any item not in pre-searing cannot be used. Insignias, runes, and other mods should have no effect when traveling back. You only get the skill set you would if every pre-searing quest was finished. This small change is simple to implement and would bother nobody or make anything unbalanced in any way. Both 15 attribute quests are negated whiled traveling back as well. You're level should be set to 1 if you decide to do this and if you don't finish LDoA and go back through searing it will be what it normally was, consider traveling almost like a huge dungeon.

Nice Idea its just that i think alot of the attraction too pre-searing is the fact that it is exclusive, not too mention having its own economy ect..ect..
to keep it that way while allowing "seared" characters back would be alot of effort.

New Character slots are quite cheap, so i think this is the compromise.
No real reason too allow "seared" characters back.

like ive posted before , suuuure why the hell not, they given in to peoples demands in the past,why not this, maybelike we see in the BMPs no drops no loot no nothing just go in and do what you have to do, no trading or anything

also i say add title to the GW store while were at it *sarcasm*

let them finish touching up GW2 so i can finnaly play it , then they can F up GW1 all they want

What is the point of sending back a character you've already made, if it's only going back to level 1?? If it's a core profession you want, either delete a character you don't want/use or buy a new character slot and voila! There's really not much else to think about....

It's not that I don't use a character slot, it's literally the title alone. I would spend 100k if it meant I could travel back to pre-searing and be level 1 just to gain the title then go back with it and use all my unlocked skills and armor, etc. Meh, doesn't take that long to reroll but whatever I suppose. LDoA is literally the only reason.

Never happen because of how complicated it would be to set up.

All characters in post wishing to do this would be rolled back to lvl 1 and have all skills items and money removed before passage was allowed.

Then having reached lvl 20 in pre they come forward in time again and pick up all their skills and items.

If they thought there was a market for it no doubt there would be a rewrite and a charge of say £5 per trip.

This is one more reason why I wish the KoaBD title track was implemented as a global, account wide counter for individual titles, HoM-style.

This way, people could work on titles with whichever character they liked, without worrying about KoaBD and sticking to one single character to achieve every title in existence. It sure would have promoted variety, but it's now way too late for a change.

As for LDoA... Since the Vanguard Quests last year, it has become a lot less impressive as an achievement for me. That's why I decided not to move my LDoA character and make it a perma-pre instead.

Not convinced by this suggestion. If anything, I think LDoA should be a pre-searing only title, and mutually exclusive to Legendary Survivor.

Gill is one of the few that made sense in this thread. No, this would not be hard to write and sure as hell shouldn't cost £5, 100k maybe? Nothing is removed or lost. An NPC can simply say remove all your armor, gold, and weapons before traveling back. Nothing is reset or lost. You simply go back to gain the silly ass title, rather you see it as an achievement or not. Deleting a character? Buying a character slot? No. The point is you've done a ton with the character and want LDoA on it because it's the most boring title there is to start out doing. There is no hard work involved what so ever, it's redoing Charr At The Gate and killing two level eight bandits until your eyes bleed.

I'm not sure if KoABD would work globally besides maxing account wide titles, but LDoA should be global then we can skip this entire suggestion and have it count towards KoABD on all characters. Then nobody's "hard work" (LOL) would be lost or forgotten as if it weren't already, but let's pretend like it hasn't. Only core characters can wear the title would be the only catch. If you enjoy multiple characters and titles at all then you should support this idea.

I am talking about how it was before the Pre-searing update. That update made a lot of people who deathlevelled for months very unhappy. LDoA is supposed to have some prestige, and as it is now, the only prestige is that you did it before moving your character any further. It's a title you have to do or leave. Making it so you can go back later removes a lot of the point.

Very true. I think LDoA should have never been a title or updated in the first place. The vanguard update didn't come around until long after they made it a title. This is also implemented to their first campaign which was released in 2005...

Before the March 3rd, 2011 update, the only way to achieve this title was to death level.

When was this actually made a title then? Or did the title and Vanguard come at the same time? I can't remember.

As much as I'd love for it to happen. And although it could be possible, at least by locking your inventory, setting your stats and HP and, and forcing you to use a certain weapon set, and then talking with Symon while equipped with it to 'hear a past story' and go back in time, it would be too much trouble for something you can do just by getting another character slot.

Why not simply making all titles account-wide? They are already account-wide in the HoM.

Turkey, believe me, if you had ever tried to code anything for a game, even something as simple as a "if-then" engine, then you would understand why this particular suggestion is extremely complicated.
You are correct that most people tend to counter suggestions with "it's too complicated", but this is usually just people's way of saying "I don't like it, but I don't know why." Now, if a feature were implemented like you suggest, I would certainly use it and most likely enjoy doing so, but such a feature just isn't doable.
Sit back and think about all the things that would have to happen for this to be doable. Now tell me that you think its possible. If you do, you are either lying or didn't think hard enough.
